Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall find the solution of this problem with the help of vector notation of i , j , which show east and  north direction .

The first displacement can be represented by the following

D₁ = - 3 cos 45 i + 3 sin45 j = - 3 / √2 i + 3 / √2 j

The second  displacement can be represented by the following

D₂ = - 5 cos 45 i - 5 sin45 j = - 5 /√2 i - 5 /√2 j

The third  displacement can be represented by the following

D₃ =  4 cos 45 i + 4 sin45 j =  4 /√2 i + 4 /√2 j

Total displacement D =

D₁ +D₂ + D₃

= i ( -3 -5 + 4 ) / √2 + j ( 3 - 5 + 4 ) / √2 j

= - 4  / √2 i + 2 / √2 j

D = - 2.8288 i + 1.414 j

Magnitude of D

= √ ( 2.8288² + 1.414² )

= 3.16 miles

For direction we calculate angle with X axis

Tanθ = 1.414 / 2.8288

θ = 26 °

As x is negative and Y is positive ,

the direction will be north of west .

The total surface area of a cuboid is 112cm^2. find the value of x. values given: 10cm and 2cm.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x= 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

we will need to put the information we currently have into an equation:

10•2•x= 112

then multiply 10•2 which equals 20...then the equation wil turn out like this:

20•x=112

now you will isolate the x... but how?? dividing 20 by itslef.. cancelling it out, and if you do one thing to the other side of the equation, you have to do it to the other...

20/20•x=112/20

you will end up with x= 122/20

you can use a calculator for this step, but  to practice long division... (check the screen shot thingie)

hope this helped !! ^^

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.
irina1246 [14]
Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.
